"But you listed this as a strike,"
asked Brennan.
"Yes," said Sherwood.
Strikes Faked f
The Industrial Court appointee's
method of compiling his statistics
was also aired. He said the com-
panies were supposed to phone in
every night to the mining inspector's
office, and if there was a strike they
so informed him. Some of theso re-
ports he investigated later, and some
he did not.
Sherwood also declared that 3,000
miners have returned to work in
Kansas, but under cross examination
he was able to account definitely for
only a few hundred men.
Sherwood has held his office since
1919. He was a member of the
United Mine Workers of America
from 1894 till that time. In the dis-
trict he is known as a bitter anti-
Howat man.

NEW YORK, Dec. 24.—(By U. P.)

re-organized movement. But when
asked by Attorney Kerr, of the Illi-
nois district, who is associated with
Brennan in the injunction suit, to
state definitely where these 6.000
men were working. Bittner replied
in general terms that the figures hail
been properly compiled by his field
representatives.
Ketr then mentioned the recent
6.900 vote which Howat had just re-
ceived in the recent election for of-
ficials in the^old district but Bittner
refused to discuss this.
Bittner is a well dressed, present-
able mlddleaged man with a youth-
ful face. He testified that he had
been a member of the United Mine
Workers for twenty years, finally be-
coming vice presidnt and later pres-
ident of district 5 in Western Penn-
sylvania, and since 1916 has been
serving as a special international of-

BRIAND PUT
UNDER FIRE
Attack in Chamber
of Deputies.
PARIS, Dec. 24.—Political oppo-
nents of Premier Briand launched
general attack on him in the
Chamber of Deputies today.
Dr. Klotz, former cabinet member,
demanded that the Chamber debate
the reparations situation before the
Cannes conference.
Briand refused and requested a
postponement until after the confer-
ence. Briand's opponents also based
their attacks on the failure of the
Industrial bank of China.
Briand declared that at the com-
ing Cannes conference France will
not abandon any of her guarantees.
He held that France needs new
guarantees and they will be consid-
ered. Never during the London con-
versations with Lloyd George did a
question of relinquishing any part
of France's securities come up,
Briand said.
Lloyd George, he asserted, recog-
nizes France's position.
When Briand touched on the
Washington conference Loubet in-
terrupted :
"Don't lose our fleet"
Briand ignored It. He declared
the quadruple Pacific alliance is a
great achievement.
Klotz finally consented to abandon
the demand for a reparations debate.

Attention to Details
"That's a mere detail; we'll
take care of it later." How many
times have you heard that line?
It is an a: iom of the Leader
Prinery that a "\.aole" job of
printing equais the sum ot all its
details. It is one of our prin-
ciples to give exacting attention
to details.
